Estrada scored two goals in two minutes to lead S2 to a 2-1 win over OKC Energy FC; Rave Green return to action on Saturday, June 16 at Las Vegas Lights FC (8:00 p.m. PT / ESPN+)

TACOMA, WASH. – A pair of dramatic late goals from forward David Estrada lifted Sounders FC 2 (3-7-2, 11 points) to a 2-1 comeback victory over OKC Energy FC (2-10-1, 7 points) at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma on Sunday afternoon. The win improves S2 to 3-4-0 in front of the home crowd this season, and it snapped a five-game winless streak overall.

OKC struck first in the 76th minute when midfielder Alex Dixon tapped in a cross from the far post to give Energy FC a 1-0 lead.

Estrada equalized in the 83rd minute with a stunning goal. He received the ball just beyond the 18-yard line, tapped it between two defenders and volleyed it into the back of the net to even the game at 1-1. Two minutes later, in the 85th, Estrada scored the game-winning goal by finding a rebound in open space and lifting the ball into the top of the net to make it 2-1. He now leads the team and ranks tied for fourth in the USL with six goals on the season.

Five of today’s starting lineup for S2 had ties to the Sounders Academy, including both starting center backs in Khai Brisco and Sakari Carter. Midfielder Antonee Burke-Gilroy made his first start since signing with S2 on May 1, 2018 from Newcastle, Australia.

S2 returns to action on Saturday, June 16 at Las Vegas Lights FC at 8:00 p.m. PT. The match marks the first-ever meeting between the two clubs, with another game scheduled for Thursday, July 26 at 7:00 p.m. PT in Tacoma.
